Podz dunk? Podz dunk!

GP2 keeper special

Switch into late double vs. Steph after the GP2 away screen forces the switch. Risky, given that Steph just finds the open man underneath.

The Jimmy offense with plenty of spacing and shooting surrounding him >>>>>

Richard cutting to the opposite dunker spot at the same time as Jimmy basket cuts to. LaVine helps off, Richard in position to receive the pass for the finish. Good offense.

Staggered ball screens out of "Follow" action to get Steph downhill. Love the spacing that this lineup provides. Kick-out to Podz, final swing to Melton to punish the Kings in rotation.

Warriors┃ "Rub" BLOB Jimmy inbounding the ball, Steph screens for him underneath for the easy bucket with no switch.

Warriors at the half vs. SAC ORTG: 134.0 DRTG: 125.5 Low-possession, high-offense game. Steph has 18 on 66.7% TS. Kings haven't been able to lock the Dubs down in the half court, but have stuck aroud due to shot making. Dubs need to lock in on defense to gain separation.

This lineup has been switching everything since last game and it has produced good results.

Draymond switching onto Dennis, expecting GP2 to veer back toward Cardwell. GP2 loses track of who he should be on, Draymond veers back instead but GP2 is nowhere near, allows Dennis an open jumper. Draymond with an audible, "WHAT YOU DOING?" to GP2 lol

Will Richard got called for reaching in against DeMar on a possession prior to this, so he applies what he learns below. Gets switched onto DeMar, defends without reaching in while staying in front. Force DeMar to have to kick out, Podz in position to contest the shot.

Steph overplayed by Dennis, cuts backdoor and Horford -- drawing Reynaud away from the paint -- completes the pass.

Gary Payton II is scoring 1.150 points per possession as the roll man in the pick-and-roll

Draymond signals for "WTF" and Steph sets a backscreen for Jimmy. Kings switch and Draymond throws the pass to where only Jimmy could get it. Gets underneath the rim against a smaller defender, Reynaud tries to help but Jimmy gets the and-1.

Warriors (20-18) are taking on the Kings (8-29) tonight. Thoughts about lineups, rotations, schemes, Xs and Os, adjustments, or anything in general?

🚨NEW WORDS🚨 On De'Anthony Melton warming up to the kind of player the Warriors need him to be (link to article in reply).

Night night

Draymond has Giannis' right-shoulder baseline spin all figured out in this possession and creates a tough angle to force the miss.

Rare to see "small" action (inverted PnR) in which Jimmy sets the screen for Draymond but it gets the KPJ switch and Draymond draws a foul.

Steph making pure mincemeat out of KPJ

Have yourself a night, De'Anthony Melton

This is just good offense right now from the Warriors with the current lineup they have. Steph-Horford PnR, Melton in the dunker spot. Horford in the short roll looks to pass to Melton which draws Rollins toward the dunker. Pass to Gui, swing to Steph to punish the Bucks in rotation.

Touuugh, Steph

Steph-Gui PnR. Look at how spaced the floor is for Gui when he gets the pass in the short roll. Gets the Bucks in rotation, swing-swing to Melton in the corner for the three.

Good bit of defense here with the Dubs switching everything. Moody keeps track of AJ Green's movement and sticks on him to contest the shot.

Steph-Jimmy PnR, Steph passes to Horford to initiate the short-action concept to counter the two-to-the-ball coverage. Jimmy rolls, layup is there for the taking despite Rollins helping off but Jimmy opts to kick out to Melton. Horford offensive board, Melton drills the reload.

Warriors at the half vs. MIL ORTG: 134.0 DRTG: 108.7 Dubs forcing the Bucks into TOs, out of which they have scored 15 points. Hot shooting has also helped: 12-25 on threes.

Two-way Horford

Good offensive possession. Steph being held by KPJ, Podz settles things down. He passes to Horford at the slot and sets the screen for Steph on the opposite slot for split action. Podz slips the screen when Steph draws two, draws the help off the corner from Moody.

Surrounding Jimmy not only with shooters but a double-big setup with two big-man shooters. Horford with the high screen to get Jimmy downhill and look how no one on the Bucks chooses to help and rotate due to the spacing.

Steph-Horford PnR and Horford's roll draws help away from Melton, who drills the three. Huge if his shot returns to its typical form.

Early Steph pin-in for Post and Post attacks the Giannis closeout, gets the finish.

Warriors (19-18) are taking on the Bucks (16-20) tonight. Thoughts about lineups, rotations, schemes, Xs and Os, adjustments, or anything in general?

🚨NEW WORDS🚨 For @SportcastingNBA For years, Draymond Green has been a double-edged sword, with an edge that has justified his mercurial temperament. But his struggle to balance impact with his fiery personality is putting the Warriors at a crossroads.

Dubs go to "Thumb out" for Steph here and the degree of difficulty slider is up to 99 on this shot

*Sigh*

Clippers sent doubles toward Jimmy every time and when the Dubs needed to make a shot off of those doubles, they didn't.

Overloading the strong side with Draymond showing early help. Kawhi spins baseline vs. Jimmy but Draymond is there to meet him, coupled with Jimmy getting the strip.

Warriors at the half @ LAC ORTG: 104.1 DRTG: 106.0 Defensive battle. Dubs offense has yet to completely warm up, currently being carried by Steph Curry's 14 points and Jimmy Butler's 10. Draymond Green: team-leading +9 so far.

Staggered away with Moody twirling the first screen. Jimmy passes to Draymond in the corner who has a better passing angle to Moody, who gets the bucket after the upfake.

Zubac up high playing Draymond close, Steph at the slot area setting a rip screen for Post. Clips have no rim protection as a result, Dunn top-locking Jimmy, who counters with a backdoor.

Jimmy plays the passing lane, gets the steal. Stops on a dime in transition to get Kawhi up in the air, before going up for the easy bucket. Jimmy is the master of playing off of two feet.

Warriors (19-17) are taking on the Clippers (12-22) tonight. Thoughts about lineups, rotations, schemes, Xs and Os, adjustments, or anything in general?

🚨NEW WORDS🚨 How Steph Curry had the Jazz spinning in circles trying to find which coverage worked against him. Answer: virtually none (link to article in reply).

LMAOOO

"Head Tap" for Steph and he chooses the zipper option, Jazz switch with Lauri ending up on Steph. GP2 screens and Steph draws two, pass to GP2 who rolls and finds Trayce on the lob. (Another example of GP2 being this team's third-best passer on the roll.)

This has been one heck of a defensive quarter by Quinten Post

Warriors┃ "22" BLOB Melton curls the screen by Steph, then Steph comes off the Trayce screen. Two go to Steph, Trayce has an open lane to the rim.

LOL STEPH
